the new negroes

Is there a lack of news, should I say, real news that it has to be made up by poli-trixters? I am trying to figure out why there is a high level of interest on theses folks from Dubai, United Arab Emirates taking management control of several U.S. Ports?

First, the deal was announced in November of Last Year and came about as the result of a multi-billion dollar purchase of a British Shipping firm. Dubai World is getting the shaft for being an Arab country just like companies are discriminated against in the US because they are owned by Non-whites. That’s it. I don’t even expect them to run security, I mean there is customs, FTA, and at worse private US security firms.

Why are folks up set? They are obviously professional or else they would not operate, with the grace and approval of foreign nations including China and Britain, but as well profitable. The British do not have a problem with these folks, then why do we? Well it may be rooted in our western historic practice of distinction based on supremacy, skin color, and fear. Most of which, when we speak of fears, goes to the collective unconscious that some of certain races feel for dogging and treating other cultures like shit. They feel bad, and they know some people don’t forget, even if it occurred decades or centuries ago. I know I don’t forget and wish I could have been down with Nat Turner and David Walker.

Also, many in the west know that the U.A.E. also do not acknowledge the existence, right and legitimately of Israel.

These folks are full of shit. It really makes me think they don’t read and actually base and or worse – develop policy based on what they see on Television. Meaning that they have concluded that they have found the new Negro – The A-rab. It’s ugly as I look at it, seeing in the same light how politicians talked about people of African descent in the same way. All of the distrust is based on where they come from and how they look as opposed to who they are. The ubiquitous white dame grabbing her purse on the elevator when a folk with dreds (this time me) gets in not knowing I do not have the desire or ambition to jack her – let alone that I have a PhD; albeit sometimes I just want to snatch their purse for GP.

I know how they - Arabs - feel. I get the same as a male of the same hue. Some folks without pigmentation need to check their selves. If they would just look at their fears, we may be able to work things out. It is much to do about nothing. Like I said, the facts are we have known about this for four months (at least I did), and if we are truly scared, say we scared. Truth be told, I have more fear riding through Buckhead than I would on a Port run by Arabs.

I don't know. I've wondered about this myself. At first, I thought, no way. With all the craziness muslims are causing around the world, no! But, I can't believe our govrenment would allow this if it were in fact dangerous at all.

I would like to say all of this shyt in the world is a mess. I don't know what end is up. But i know i am glad i was born in the USA.what scares me is that everything in the bible must happen,and we will never know when things will jumb off around here.lol.Now thats whats up.
